Benefits of technology

The invention is a biosensor that uses a specific electrode design to measure various blood components accurately, even when the level of hematocrit (a blood cell) in the sample varies. The sensor can measure glucose, lactic acid, cholesterol, and other components of blood with high accuracy. This is achieved by using an interdigitated array electrode with a specific design, which reduces the impact of hematocrit and allows for a quick measurement of the desired component. The sensor can be easily produced using the described method.

Problems solved by technology

Such a variation in hematocrit level is known to adversely affect the determination of the concentration of a blood component, particularly glucose using a biosensor.
However, any conventional techniques cannot cope with such a variation in hematocrit level and have a problem with measurement accuracy of the concentration of blood glucose.

Abstract

The present invention provides a biosensor capable of measuring various blood components, in particular, the concentration of blood glucose with high accuracy even when a hematocrit level varies. The above-described object was achieved by a biosensor, which is a biosensor 10 that oxidizes a blood component with an oxidoreductase, detects an oxidation-reduction current generated by the reaction product with an electrode 104 and measures the blood component, and is characterized in that the electrode 104 is an interdigitated array electrode in which a working electrode 1042 and a counter electrode 1044 composed of a noble metal are alternately arranged, the total area of the interdigitated array electrode is from 1.8 to 4 mm2, an inter-electrode distance is less than 50 μm, an electrode width of the working electrode is from 5 to 50 μm, and an electrode width of the counter electrode is from 5 to 100 μm.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD[0001]The present invention relates to a biosensor and a method for producing the same, and particularly relates to a biosensor capable of measuring a blood component such as glucose with high accuracy.BACKGROUND ART[0002]A biosensor is a sensor which determines the content of a substrate in a sample by utilizing a molecular recognition ability of a biological material such as a microorganism, an enzyme, an antibody, a DNA or an RNA. Among various biosensors, a sensor utilizing an enzyme has been in practical use, and for example, glucose, lactic acid, cholesterol, amino acids, and the like in a substrate can be measured.[0003]As a biosensor for measuring blood glucose levels, which is one of the representative biosensors, there has been a biosensor which mainly utilizes an electrochemical reaction, uses, for example, a reagent such as potassium ferricyanide as a mediator, causes glucose in blood and an enzyme such as glucose oxidase carried in the sensor to react wit...
